Colormap not updating - MATLAB 2014b

[Maha]

Hi everyone,

With the latest version of MATLAB I am having some major issues updating my plot's colormap. I am able to plot a figure and have a colorbar just fine, then I go into colormap editor to change the colormap to what I want. However, when I save that colormap as a variable and try to apply that colormap to a new figure, it looks like none of my color choices stick! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an idea of what I do:
figure; colormap; colorbar
%% Then edit things using colormap editor, apply changes, see them take
cm = colormap;
%% Now try plotting a new figure with this custom colormap
figure; colormap(cm); colorbar
%% This colormap looks exactly like the default one I started out with.

I was able to do this in previous versions of MATLAB and I'm very confused as to what is going wrong now...

In 14b MATLAB Graphics introduced the ability for axes to have their own
colormaps. When you edited the colormap using the colormap editor, you were
editing the colormap for the axes. Modify your code such that when you get
the colormap, you specify the axes you want to get it from:

cm = colormap(gca);
